Hippotherapy

The term hippotherapy is derived from the Greek word "hippos" for horse and literally means treatment with the help of a horse. It is a medical treatment tool used by physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech/language pathologists. Treatment is provided in a child-centered environment on an individual basis.

The horse produces three-dimensional rhythmic, repetitive movements which research has shown closely simulates the movements of the human pelvis while walking. This movement, along with the warmth generated from the horse is used as a therapeutic tool to facilitate the client's individual therapy goals and promotes many benefits, such as:

Development of balance

Improved coordination

Increased vocalization/improved articulation

Improved sensory awareness/processing

Improved posture

Improved attention to task

Increased circulation

Improved respiration

Relaxation of spastic muscles

Strengthening of weak muscles
